My Switch emuNAND and sysNAND is on 8.1.0 and I want to update both to 9.0.1. How can I go about doing this? I'm using a Mac - will ChoiDujour or something work on it? And does burning fuses matter if I don't plan on downgrading? If I boot into sysNAND to play multiplayer it will be burned, right?
And just one more question, are there any changes I have to do to the Atmosphere folder, like updating signature patches?
Thanks for your help!

Burning fuses does not matter if you don't plan to downgrade, so by all means, update your sysMMC via Nintendo's system update.

As for your emuMMC, this is where things are going to get complicated... Normally you wouldn't need to update your emuMMC but with 9.0 there was a game card reader update, so you will no longer be able to read cards on emuMMC unless you update.

You CAN use ChoiDujour to update your emuMMC but I advise you to take caution and backup your saves or anything else your care about, as plenty of people have been having loads of issues applying this update with ChoiDujour and ending up with an inaccessible emuMMC.

My recommendation is to just skip all that by:
  1. Backing up saves with Checkpoint
  2. Updating sysMMC via system update
  3. Getting all the latest Atmos files and Hekate
  4. Deleting emuMMC
  5. Creating fresh new emuMMC from updated sysMMC
  6. Restoring saves
This is what I typically do if I must update, except for game saves as I only use CFW for Homebrew but I've successfully avoided any of the headaches people are giving themselves doing it this way. If you use any Homebrew you'll need to update to the latest Atmos for buttons to work due to changes with libnx. There is a temporary fix implemented until all Homebrew has be recompiled.

Oh, I assume you'll also be needing sigpatches as well since you mentioned them. There's a new pack of them you'll need to grab.

Proceed how you wish but backup what your cherish.

    walmart all sold out
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    best buy is questionable... I can't get thru a line
  • TeconMoon @ TeconMoon:
    Pre-ordering was a bit nuts but I somehow got two orders lined up. Walmart went live early with a queue system that was actually extremely stable and I was able to snag one for shipping, no in-store pickup.

    Target.com went down immediately but the app was up for a little longer before going down and a couple of friends managed to snag pre-orders there, but it was $10 extra for release day shipping also with no local pickup.

    Don't give up on the Best Buy line! I waited for 35 minutes before the page automatically refreshed and asked me to re-login, I thought I was done for but after I re-logged back in it took me immediately to checkout with 10 minutes to complete the purchase.
  • TeconMoon @ TeconMoon:
    Best Buy local pickup is what I was going for so I'm glad it panned out. I had some rewards certificates waiting to be used and got some money back on my Best Buy credit card. Gotta get me that midnight pickup!
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    @TeconMoon walmart keeps going in and out of stock. I'm worried about ordering 1 more and having cancellation since I already ordered 1 tho
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    @TeconMoon I got booted out of the best buy line in one of my browsers dunno what's up with that
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:

    @Skelletonike bluesky claims to be decentralized like mastodon, problem is that for some reason they decided to create their own protocol for that, I've not seen a single other instance using it
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Yeah, 4chan was a bit sus... Probability of finding a trap when clicking on something was... Too high.

    Well... When it comes down to, it's all for money.
